Interpretation:
Given that phenylboronic acid upon nitration gives 15% orthosubstitution product and 85% meta product. The meta directing effect of the –B(OH)2 group is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The substituents attached to the ring have a strong influence on the incoming electrophile. Electron releasing substituent groups, except halogens, activate the ring and direct the incoming electrophile to the o- and p- positions. Halogens are o- and p- directors but they deactivate the ring. Electron withdrawing substituent groups deactivate the ring and direct the incoming electrophile to the m- position. Boron compounds are usually electron acceptors as in these compounds boron is electron deficient.
To explain:
The meta directing effect of the –B(OH)2 group as upon nitrating phenylboronic acid 15% orthosubstitution product and 85% meta product are obtained.

- Dicarboxylic acids have two dissociation constants, one for the initial dissociation into a monoanion and one for the second dissociation into a dianion. For oxalic acid, HO2C—CO2H, the first ionization constant is pKal = 1.2 and the second ionization constant is pKa2 = 4.2. Why is the second carboxyl group far less acidic than the first?arrow_forwardThe pKa, of the conjugate acid of morpholine is 8.33. (a) Calculate the ratio of morpholine to morpholinium ion in aqueous solution at pH 7.0. (b) At what pH are the concentrations of morpholine and morpholinium ion equal?arrow_forwardWrite an equation for the acid-base reaction between 2,4-pentanedione and sodium ethoxide and calculate its equilibrium constant, Keq. The pKa of 2,4-pentanedione is 9; that of ethanol is 15.9.arrow_forward

- A1arrow_forwardProcaine (its hydrochloride is marketed as Novocain) was one of the first local anesthet- ics for infiltration and regional anesthesia. See "Chemical Connections: From Cocaine to Procaine and Beyond."According to the following retrosynthetic scheme, procaine can be synthesized from 4-aminobenzoic acid, ethylene oxide, and diethylamine as sources of carbon atoms.
